Daily purpose

It’s the little things that can trip us up, you know. Grand passions and grand purposes notwithstanding, when we get caught up in everyday life, that’s when we step off the track. That’s when we get caught by our power plays and forget everything we’ve learned. We’re at an interesting juncture—we have the timing and opportunity to step beyond the physical limitations we take for granted on a daily basis, but our lives are so crazy-busy we react, rather than act. We take the closest turn, and call it intuition, rather than reach inside ourselves long enough to find the connection, the power cord (or power chord, perhaps ), look for the synchronicity and the signals that Divine guidance is waving at us. We ignore the coincidence of meeting just the right person at the right time, wave it off as “a sign, but I don’t know of what.”


So our daily practice—meditation, energy clearing, energy raising through the kind of music we listen to, the people we surround ourselves with, etc—is the practice ground for this. Meditation trains us to step back and shut up, even if it’s just for a moment. Energy clearing makes the voice of God sound just a bit stronger—and working through our old crap makes it a bit easier to contemplate the non-limits. But it is a daily practice. And while I say “even if you can only do this for five minutes,” that isn’t an excuse to leave it at five minutes while you go off and watch TV for the rest of the evening. That’s another trap of the times, I think—and reminds me of the Genie in the Aladdin movie, saying “limitless power, itty-bitty living space.” That’s us—limitless power, but it’s easier to spend our time in a cozy living space than to do the work needed to evolve.

Which isn’t to say it’s all difficult. Sometimes the hardest part is just letting go…because once you let go—really let go—it can be amazingly easy. We’re just going to shift the energy.
